Website Visitors

Like most website operators, HotWax Commerce collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. HotWax Commerce's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how HotWax Commerce's visitors use its website. From time to time, HotWax Commerce may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

HotWax Commerce also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users. HotWax Commerce only discloses logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

 

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to HotWax Commerce's websites choose to interact with HotWax Commerce in ways that require HotWax Commerce to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that HotWax Commerce gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at https://www.hotwax.co/blog to provide an email address. If a visitor submits his/her email address to subscribe to our blogs or podcasts, we use that email address to send bi-weekly email newsletters sharing information about our latest content published on the website and important updates by HotWax Commerce. For users submitting the “Contact Us” form where he/she requests a free consultation from the HotWax team, we use this personally-identifying information to connect with the user via email for further formal communication.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) gives parents control over the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles are the foundation of U.S. privacy law and the concepts they include have played a major role in the development of data protection laws throughout the world.
